Below are just a few examples of personal injury lawsuits and settlements against Safeco Insurance we successfully resolved on behalf of our clients since 2003.

$750,000

Our client in this 2004 car vs. motorcycle accident case was a San Leandro man who sustained significant leg injuries as a result of the accident. He was struck while riding his motorcycle when a car backed out of driveway without looking. The case resulted in a $750,000 payment, of which Safeco paid $300,000, and the driver of the car paid $450,000 out of his own pocket.

$225,000

In this car accident case, an underinsured driver hit our client, an elderly man, in a head-on collision in Central California. Our client suffered a broken left arm as well as separate injuries to his left shoulder and right hand. Because the driver who hit him was underinsured, we successfully pursued a claim with our client’s own insurance company, Safeco, settling the case for $225,000, in addition to the sums we recovered from the other driver.

$112,500

In this recent case, GJEL Accident Attorneys represented the victim in a truck vs. car accident that occurred on Vasco Road in Livermore. The defendant’s flat-bed truck slammed into our client’s Ford Escort head-on, causing him substantial neck and back pain. Safeco paid our client $112,500 to settle the case.
